Turkeygirl Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Any of you experience when the corner of your eye or your eye lid gets this twitch you can't control and usually it lasts only a few seconds? I woke up yesterday morning and it did it all day, an hour being the longest it didn't do it, and it is doing it again today. What the heck is going on? I can actually see my upper eye lid move,lol. I think my face is going to freeze like this if it doesn't stop soon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugshooter Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: Stupid eye twitch I've had the eye twitch, the thumb twitch, the pinky twitch, and lately I've had a twitch going on basically where my nose meets my cheek, right under the eye, that one gets annoying. I've got all kinds of twitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayman Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: Stupid eye twitch Yep. I had it where it lasted about a week. Caffeine and stress can cause it. It's not a health risk or anything to be concerned with. But it sure is annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: Stupid eye twitch Gary's correct, stress, and lack of sleep will cause them. I have a semi-cure. I learned this after I had my parathyroid glands removed. Your parathyroids regulate the level of calcium in your body. Calcium is very important when it comes to controlling your muscles. If you have low calcium levels you will get twitchy. I only have 1/4 of one parathyroid gland, normal people have 4, so my calcium goes low all the time. I pop about 4 to 6 citracal pills throughout the day on a regular basis. Try that, and eat a few bananas, and go to bed earlier, I'll bet your twitch goes away.

[/ QUOTE ] About the only way I can describe the location is that I wear glasses and the twitch is usually about an inch below where the nose guard is on the right side. Pretty annoying. As far as caffeine, I've been cutting down on soda intake, stress levels are high with work, and school, and everything else, so that might be part of the problem. That and I have been getting bad headaches lately. I had one Monday that wouldn't quit, I took 5 Tylenols within 8 hours and it wouldn't go away. I felt one coming on yesterday and I popped one of my fiance's 800 Mg prescription Ibuprofen. No headache yesterday glad to say. I can't keep popping those though.

Turkeygirl Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: Stupid eye twitch Well I've been going to beda little later than normal due to watching the Olympics. I don't drink caffeine, I could be a little stressed though because college does that to you. I'll try what some of you and Tominator said. I'll let youk now if it works,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: Stupid eye twitch My mom had it. So I guess that makes me a son of a twitch! Guess I inherited it because occasionally I have the same problem. Tominator's advice is good. Calcium must be why string cheese seems to help (no joke!) Besides stress and fatigue. Eye twitches can be the result of a side effect from a new medication or an allergy you're developing. The side effect cause is the scariest if you let it go too long, because by the time you figure it out permanent damage may have occurred. Google all your meds + "side effects" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowhntr Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Re: Stupid eye twitch I've had twitches all over the place but the worst are the eyes. I've had abdominal twitches that make my shirt move those are annoying. I don't know what causes them or fixes them. They just eventually go away.
